SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 406,767, dated July 9, 1889.

Application filed March 29, 1889. 4Serial No. 305,305. (No model.)

T0 all whom iv' may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. PTORNEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at McCracken, in the county of Rush and State of Kansas, have invented anew and useful Tuyere for Blacksmiths Forges, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to tuyeres for blacksmiths forges, and it has for its object to provide a tuyere which shall prevent the spreading of the lire beyond the fire-pot,and which shall be capable of being used as a waterheating device for domestic purposes.V

The invention further consists in the iinproved construction and arrangement of the cinder-box, and of the mechanism for raking the fire, and in the detailed construction and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on the line a: in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the slide at the bottom of the cinder-boX.

The same letters refer to the same part-s in all the figures.

A designates the tuyere, which consists of a suitable box or casing, preferably circular in shape, and provided with a cover B, the upper side of which is concave, as shown at C,s as to form the fire-box of my improved forge. The under side of the concave cover B has a downwardly-extending tubular shank D, the outer side of which may be screwthreaded, as shown at E, so as to engage the central screw-threaded opening F in the bottom of the casing A. The outer walls of the latter are provided with vertical perforations G, registering with perforations A in the top plate or cover B, to receive fastening-bolts I, by means of which the said cover may be permanently secured to the tuyere box. Packing of any suitable description may, when desired, be interposed between the upper edge of the box A and the projecting edge or flange of the cover B.

K designates a vertical rectangular shank,

which constitutes the cinder-box, and the upper end of which is provided with a horizontal flange L, through which the lower ends of sition by means of a pivoted latch P. By re-A moving the said slide the cinders accumulated in the cinder-box may be conveniently removed. The upper end of the cinder-box communicates with the lower end of the pipe D, extending from the bottom of the fire-box; hence it will be seen that the blast of air entering the einder-box through the pipe M is discharged directly in the center of the bottom of the fire-box.

Q designates a rotary grate, which is mounted in the tubular shank D. This grate is secured upon the upper end of a vertical rod R extending downwardly through the cinderbox, and having its bearings in suitable crossp bars S and in the bottom of the cinder-box. The lower end of the rod R is provided with a crank or handle T, by means of which it may be conveniently manipulated so as to rake the fire, rake the cinders, and cause the latter to drop into the cinder-box,fro1n which they may be afterward removed through the slide-door N.

The tuyere-box A is provided with a laterally-extending pipe U, which is connected by a flexible pipe V with a suitable tank or reservoir lV, from which water maybe supplied to the box A. The latter is also provided with a steam or blow-off cock X, and with a valve or faucet Y, through which the hot wa- 'ter may be drawn out when desired for domestic purposes.

The operation of this invention and its ad# van tages will be readily understood from the foregoing description, taken in connection the cinder-box is directly upward through IOO ` the fire-box, and tends to keep the fire clear and bright. By the described arrangement of the cinder-box and the rotatable grate the iire-box may be quickly and easily cleaned, andthe accumulatedinders may be readily removed from the cinder-box.

-Another important advantage of my invention is the facility with Which hot Water for domestic purposes may be at any time obtained.

Having thusil describedv my invention, I claim- Y l. In a blacksmiths forge, the combination, With the tuyere-boX, the bottom of which has a central screw-threaded opening, of the concavo-eonveX cover constituting the lire-pot and having a central downwardly-extending screw-threadedl pipe, by Which it is connected with the bottom of said box, substantially as set forth.

' 2. The combination, with the annular Water-chamber or tuyere and the top constituting the ire-pot, of the cinder-box located below the same and having the blast-pipe connected thereto, the rotatable grate located in the central tube of the tuyere and having a rod extending downwardly through the cinder-box, and an operating-handle at the lower end of said rod, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of the annular Waterchamber or tuyere, the cinder-box located below the same, the rotatable grate, the removable slide at the lower end Yof the Cinderchamber, and the latch to retain said slide in position,substantially as and for thev purpose set forth.

4. The combination.V of the cinder-bcX having an annular horizontal flange at its inner end, the tuyere-box or Water-chamber having perforations extending vertically through its Walls, the concave top plate constituting the fire-pot and having a central depending tube connecting it through the bottom of the Water-chamber With the upper end of the cinder-boX, and suitable connecting-bolts, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
